Something I love-

I wake up-
To this cool air
To this warm quilt
And to his beating heart on my back

I doze off-
To sounds of a cello
To sounds of a church bell
And of fingers twirling my hair

I see here-
A bird chirps to another
A splash hits my legs
A sound resonates from him

And that was enough
Enough to feel him hug me
Enough to feel him love me
Enough to feel him be happy-

But I wonder if it was enough
Enough for him to hug
Enough for him to love
Enough for him to be happy-

These insecurities clog my memory
From waking up
From dozing off
From seeing clearly-

Then he'll remind me-

That one day we won't exist
That we only get one body
That we only get one true love

He'll sit and hug me for hours
He'll sit as I write and play with my hair
He'll sit beside and wait till I take action

But he takes it upon himself

To wade into the water
And be happy for both of us
And be happy in the moment
And to feel everything without feeling nothing

Why is he... Something I love-

Based on how close to love I was, and some memories that reminded me of him.
